at least that is what i think he is doing. my CWD is kind of swinging his arms one at a time and bobing his head. it is amazingly cute but i am commenting on it to see if i should be worried. he also puffs up his throat. he is about twelve inches long and i belive a male. let me know if this is not normal to any extent. thanks

well it is the next day and i woke up and went to turn on his light and sat down to watch him and again he started swinging his arms and bobing his head. his color is fine he eats well i dont mess with him much unless to feed him a worm. so i dont think it could be stress but who knows?
